[comp.windows.x] Sun's User Interface Editor

A few days ago I played briefly with Sun Microsystems new user interface
editor on a Sun IPC (Sun's recently introduced low-end Sparc-based
workstation -- by the way, if you are in the market for a workstation,
look at this one very seriously).  The editor looks nice, similar to
NeXT's Interface Builder.  I don't know what the programming interface is.
I don't remember how much they charge for it but it did not seem
unreasonable.  I would be grateful to anybody who can answer the
following questions:

1) is it usable with plain X11R4 or does it require Sun's XView or
whatever their current window system is called?

2) does anybody have any experience with it?

3) has anybody written, or is writing, other user interface editors
for X11, free or not?

Thanks
